Abstract in brief
- Neuromorphic vision sensors, or event cameras, enable ultra-fast visual perception but struggle with capturing edges parallel to motion due to intrinsic limitations.
- Inspired by human microsaccades—tiny involuntary eye movements—the authors designed a system called the artificial microsaccade-enhanced event camera (AMI-EV) that incorporates a rotating wedge prism to improve texture stability.
- Testing shows that AMI-EV significantly outperforms standard and other event cameras in real-world scenarios, enhancing robotics' ability to perceive both low-level and high-level visual tasks.

論文の方 ( https://t.co/aT4yKYCiKF ) は読めないけど、sony のいうとこの event-based vision sensor (EVS) の話で、「静止物体が検知できない」点を眼球の微細運動 (microsaccade) で解決してるっぽい。カメラ自体動かすのは大変そうだけど液晶シャッタ方式に比べて何かが良いんだな https://t.co/53EhNoGCzG

raw sensors are kind of hard to improve right now (they're effectively photon counters for some time already), but CPUs are improved so we can combine the data acquired in much more clever ways than just averaging https://t.co/RCClOof3Jf
